All this talk of synthesized radios and channel conflicts reminded me of a
thread I started on RCGroups.com a while back. For those who are into math,
here's a probability puzzle:

There are 50 R/C channels available on 72 MHz in the USA. Assuming all
channels are equally popular, everyone chose his channel at random, and
everyone is stuck on his own channel (no synthesizers), how many flyers with
72 MHz radios have to show up at a field before the odds favor at least one
conflict?
